Step 1. Make a PHP file and define markup and scripting
We make a PHP file and save it with a name convert.php
<?php
function convert($size,$unit)
{
if($unit == "KB")
{
return $fileSize = round($size / 1024,4) . 'KB';
}
if($unit == "MB")
{
return $fileSize = round($size / 1024 / 1024,4) . 'MB';
}
if($unit == "GB")
{
return $fileSize = round($size / 1024 / 1024 / 1024,4) . 'GB';
}
}
if(isset($_POST['convert_size']))
{
$size=$_POST['size'];
$unit=$_POST['convert_unit'];
$size=convert($size,$unit);
}
?>
<html>
<head>
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="convert_style.css"/>
</head>
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="convert_div">
<form method="post"action="">
<input type="text" name="size" placeholder="Enter Bytes">
<select name="convert_unit">
<option>KB</option>
<option>MB</option>
<option>GB</option>
</select>
<br>
<input type="submit" name="convert_size" value="Convert Bytes">
</form>
<p><?php echo $size;?></p>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
In this step we create a form to enter bytes and select unit to convert on. After submitting the form we get the value of size and units and call convert function to convert bytes into particular unit and display in
browser.
